Chelsea's player has just received the major boost during the international break that he's passed a fitness check and is available to represent his country.

Chelsea signed off for the international period with a 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. As a result, they sit fourth in the league table and can reflect on a fairly positive start to the season.

The Blues have plenty of players away representing their nations in this break, which is a reward for the amount of individuals in form right now.

Enzo Maresca, who's had a good start as head coach, has two weeks before his team returns to action with a trip to Liverpool. Chelsea's predicted XI against Liverpool does include a few changes.

According to The Sun, Madueke has passed a fitness test ahead of England's match against Greece on Thursday night.

It is explained that the attacker hobbled straight down the tunnel during Chelsea's draw against Forest with a suspected foot injury.

However, the report says that he's fit and available for selection in England's game with Greece.

Great goalscoring form Madueke has catapulted his way into England's squad recently after a fine individual start to the season at club level.

The right-winger has scored five goals in eight games across all competitions this campaign. In particular, he scored Chelsea's equalising goal with a low smart finish versus Forest at the weekend.

It's a credit to him that he's currently keeping teammate Pedro Neto out of the starting line-up. He'll know he needs to keep up his form to keep the position in the XI, too.

Madueke is definitely looking the most threatening he's been since his arrival from PSV Eindhoven over two and a half years ago.

Here is a look at the attacker's Chelsea career so far:
